Friendly reminder that Xenoblade Chronicles is gonna be released today for the Wii U Virtual Console for 20 bucks.
>>335798740
..It's already been on there for like what, more than a year?
in the us? cause i thought europe had it already
>>335798904
>>335798979
Only for Europeans
We Americucks are finally getting it today.
>>335798740
>>335799004
this is a great day then, played it before but might get it anyway
>>335798740
Friendly reminder the game is shit, and any half decent PC can emulate it if you want to play it
>>335799381
Nice try.
>>335800184
But you can, and it sucks.
>Reggie and NoA finally realized how fucking stupid they were to pass on Xenoblade Chronicles when they had the chance
>>335800254
I already own a physical copy so I'm happy with it. My only gripe with the game is that the "abundance" of sidequest are mostly tedious fetchquests and kill X amount of Y. Other than that, I love the combat, the world, and the story.
>>335800595
I don't care if you own a copy of not. It's best played on PC, now fuck off.
>>335800772
I don't own a half decent PC. So make me.
Post your face when you bought the awful DS port
>>335798740
You can get it for free onPC
>>335801145
Post YFW you bought Censorblade Chronicles X
>>335801485
And onn3ds
>>335801145
Is the 3DS port that bad?
I havent played this game and was looking forward to trying it, but finding a Wii copy for a reasonable price is almost impossible, and I dont own or intend to own a Wii U
What do?
>>335801707
Never played the wii version but got the n3ds one, I don't see anything wrong with it and it was enjoyable enough to get at least a single playthrough.
>>335801707
It's playable but the down scaled graphics are so jarring it definitely impacts the quality of the game. You can't even read the text on screen sometimes.
Nice, but I've been meaning to get XCX for a while now. If I don't play jrpgs much and had to choose should I get chronicles over the new game? I was pretty excited for the mechs, but I just don't have time to play jrpgs like I used to. Shits depressing, they're fun but such a huge time sink.
>he didn't hack his vWii and put this on
>he didn't emulate it on his pc
>>335801516
Thinking about trying this out on dolphin. How long does it take to really get into it?
>>335801707
The game is identical althought the graphics quality is noticeably shittier on 3DS. If you do own a wii, I'm going to assume you softmodded it to run backups so run the ISO off an HDD or something. :P I bought my copy 2 years ago for 50 USD but it was worth it.
>>335801957
Chronicles first. Honestly X is inferior to the original as they tried to make it more open world like modern wrpgs but it's kind of lacking in quality in that respect.
>>335801957
>Currently working full time at a call center
>Still worried someday I won't have time for RPGs anymore due to the addition of other life circumstances
>>335801957
Chronicles>>>>>Chronicles X
X isn't all that bad, but I'm having less fun playing it than Chronicles.
Does anyone know if the virtual console uses save games off of the Wii mode on the Wii U? I lost my physical copy of the game and want to know if I buy this, will my Wii save work? I would emulate but my PC isn't that great.
>>335802020
A few hours
>>335802326
I can emulate it fine on my laptop. You might want to give it a try bro.
>>335801516
>tfw you bought Xenoblade X not giving a shit about wafius and it still sucked
>>335802594
Same. I hate how generically animu Lin and Elma are. Why couldn't they give me dual audio!?
>>335801707
The game is literally the same, there's no framerate issues as far as I remember, the only downside are the graphics, but it plays fine.
>>335799004
Oh shit, I wasn't aware. Good for you that you're finally getting it though, it's well worth it.Finish the rebuilding of Colony 7 - 100% - or you're the fucking casual you always feared to be
>>335802585
Already tried, I barely get 10 fps
>>335802594
The characters and scenario were not up to the par of XBC. You were running around on gods in that one.
>>335801516
I loved X more than XBC
>>335802829
>Colony 7
How could you make such a casual mistake?
>>335802938
because you like dick
>>335802938

>>335803046
Damn, I legitimately remembered it as 7 but looking online now that number isn't even in the game... And I finished completion of 6 about a month ago too... My memory is going to shit
>>335802594
furthermore why the fuck is it called xenoblade?
all the xeno games' titles made sense, xenogears, you pilot an alien mech called a gear, xenosaga, you have the stories before xenogears, xenoblade, you have an alien sword
where the fuck is the xenoblade in xenoblade x?
>>335803135
Scale, exploration, enemy design, environmental design, soundtrack and pilotable mechs all suit me much better. Chronicles was great but X improved on it in every way sans narrative as far as I'm concerned.
>>335803190
I assume to give it brand recognition, it was referred to as XenoCross in development I believe.
>>335803135
Not him but I like the theme and sidequests much more. It's a break from the many fantasy themes in most (j)rpgs. Plus the sidequests are much more fleshed out than in the previous game. Not to mention the world is much bigger not only in area but also the amount of verticality they gave it.
>>335803190
Yours part of an organisation named BLADE. XenoBLADE.
>>335803361
So you value sidequests in a game more than you value a main story?
>>335803190
You are exploring an "alien" world fighting off invaders from an "alien" country which may as well be a planet of its own considering the Mechonis and Bionis are the only two bodies in existence at that point.
>>335803321

pic related
>>335803135
It's really a matter of what you prefer to see in a video game. I really like that they took a concept the west is known for doing, which is vast, open worlds, and did it better than any western game has ever done it due to the scale and level of exploration the game provides you with. And while the story is short and not as grand as XBC, it has its moments and isn't as terrible as people make it out to be.
Also the world design and overall gameplay are so much better than they were in XBC imo. I prefer unexplored landscapes and mechs over the more linear, on-foot nature of XBC.And I liked X's soundtrack more.
>>335801516
>>335803475
Sawano's music actively made XCX less special to me. It sounds so watered down compared to Chronicles' OST.
>>335801707
n3ds is fine, you can play it on the go, with the downside of lower graphics. Of course the better experience would be on console with a TV or with the PC Dolphin emulator .
>>335803452
The main story in both XBC and XCX weren't anything to write home about so there really isn'r any point in comparing the the cliché stories.
>>335803508
What is wrong with you people???
>>335803578
A voice of reason!
The 3ds one didn't have extra shit, did it?
>>335802735
>I hate how generically animu Lin and Elma are
>Why couldn't they give me even more generically animu voices
>>335803631
You scared, aren't you. Scared to admit that XCXs main story sucked ass & Xenoblade's was thrilling, multi-layered & actually wrapped up.
>w-well both uh stories are c-cliche, um, yeah that's.. T-that's it *pisses pants* *shits himself*
>>335803475
The area themes alone in X beat out almost everything in the originals soundtrack. There's two mediocre tracks in the game, and even they were at least memorable. Half of the originals soundtrack sounded felt very interchangable with almost any other JRPG.
>>335803683
you can view the various complete costume models for the playable characters, I'm not sure if they have that on the Wii version. No dual audio, however.
WHY DID NOBODY LOVE HER!?
>>335801516
open world meme needs to die
as long as it's not a corridor simulator, I prefer linear games way over open world. open world games just tend to be lazy because developers substitute decent level design, pacing and meaningful content with lots of lazy ass MMO quests.
i beat the original Xenoblade without doing a single sidequest and it was still like 40 hours long. XBX has shit all for main storyline content and the story and characters themselves are incredibly shit in comparison
Fffffffuck stop porting Wii games and get back on n64 or start on GameCube. God damn.
>>335803852
I've never heard anything like Guar Plains, Colony 9 field theme, Mechonis field theme, or others in another JRPG before. XCX OST was terrible. Enjoy your dubstep-esque Linkin Park Sawano drops. "EPURK Choruses man!!!!!" Woooaooowe!!
>>335803895
post-battle dialogue shows she sees Riki as a cute plaything and I'd like to think Dunban tapped that "looks underaged, but she's like 80, I swear" ass
>>335803910
I like sidequests that are actual quests. Tales of Vesperia had these optional boss battles you could do in one quest and in another one, you unlocked special weapons. The final boss took another form if you got those weapons. That's what sidequests should be.
Kill X of Y or collect this many of X is game-padding nonsense.
>>335803852
I wholeheartedly disagree. I never heard anything like it in a JRPG before. And I can remember it more than whatever lyrical crap they used in X.
>>335804074
Another voice of reason!
>>335803839
X was a game that focused much more on worldbuilding over narrative. The main story takes a backseat to exploration and side stories. It really depends on what the player enjoys more, one big grandeous 80 hour arc that revolves around them or a series of enjoyable smaller stories that make a world feel alive.
Also there wasn't anything about X's narrative that was particularly bad, it's clearly the first part of a bigger story.
>Hiroyuki ''all my shit sound the fucking same'' Sawano
The most overrated compositor ever. KLK, Aldnoah Zero, AoT and the current airing anime Kanaberi.
It all sound the same with the same stupid garbage vocal and self insert song. People who like this hack have no taste.
>>335804178
yeah, I don't mind sidequests as long as there is some sort of story and characters attached to it. when it's just like 'HEY DUDE CAN YOU GO AND COLLECT 10 ROCKS' it's a quest I abandon and never look at ever again
>tfw you find that one fully voice acted sidequest
>>335804214
>Also there wasn't anything about X's narrative that was particularly bad, it's clearly the first part of a bigger story.
>this delusion
As much as I love the game I would still consider the main-story thin & unremarkable. Characters (protagonists and villains) were underdeveloped and too many story threads were left unresolved in my opinion. I didn't even think that most of the affinity missions made that much of a difference when it came to adding depth to the characters. It's a skeleton plot. Important events, but no details to give them dramatic backing.
>it's part one of a bigger story
My ass. So much delusion.
>>335804110
Dunban for sure tapped that.
>>335804214
>it's clearly the first part of a bigger story.

Did you even watch the after credits scene? It's obvious that X is supposed to be the start of something bigger.
Whether it actually gets a sequel is debatable.
Is true that originally Dunban was suppose to be the traitor?
What was the best moment in Xenoblade Chronicles?
For me it wasDickson'sdeath. It was a really well done moment and he was a well developed character.

>>335805364
Showing an important character you killed turning out to be alive along with a myterious cloaked figure and that something incredibly mysterious is going on with a central plot device is a pretty good way of hinting towards something bigger in the future.
>>335801516
>post yfw NoA probably censored the VC port
Good thing most of us either bought a physical copy of the original wii release or emulated it.
>>335805536
More like hinting towards me putting my cocky in your bum bum.
There is gonna be no sequel you poo fuck
>>335805731
I already said whether the game gets a sequel is debatable, I only said it's clearly inteded as the first part of something bigger.

Story isn't just the sequence of events. Every single story sequence in XCX was boring as fuck, there are so many overly stretched out dialogue sequences where characters take years to say nothing at all, almost all the characters are annoying and suck ass, the majority of scenes are just people standing around and talking with no blocking or action whatsoever, and there's no "drive" to the plot, you just occasionally get to do a story mission that unlocks the next.

I know it isn't just a sequence of events. All I'm saying is that they are predictable sequences of events which makes for an uninteresting plot. Not to mention most characters are one dimensional.

Why was this game so good?
>>335801516
Censorblade? You mean the game that made swearing common, nearly every single human genocidal, racist, murderous, malicious, low empathy killing machines? The game that had every single female in the game sexualized ESPECIALLY if they were even remotely evil? The censoring that occurred on how everything but the evil boss Ganglion is sexy as fuck, which includes the men?
Oh.
You mean because you were stuck with DD sized breasts instead of A cup - J cup.
Lin Lee Koo, a 13-year-old both mentally and physically explicitly stated in-game during her introduction, and the ONLY character this applies to, got spats instead of underwear.
The that the change of "Doll" to "Skell" was a greivous case of censorship.
Right. Here's your censorship.

X had a few good tracks. A lot of bad ones.
Chronicles had an AMAZING soundtrack from start to finish.

>>335798740
Friendly reminder, you can emulate it now on PC with better resolution and controller FOR FREE.

can you use the wii u pro controller?
>>335811289
What do you mean which? There are only 2 "blades" and Xseed did localize the 1st.
You probably mean "xeno" because there are quite a few of those.
>>335811446
No, gamepad and wii remote only
so what about last story? that's been up on the japanese eshop for ages. I'm glad this one is now though.
>>335811406
1. That track is verboten on Youtube.
2. There are exceptions to the rule of "XBCross has a bad soundtrack." You should know, though, that "exceptions PROVE the rule." That you can point to 4-5 good tracks as being good only proves that the other 40 tracks are bad.

Actually, you need to buy a PC for it. Probably a good one, not your personal toaster.

>>335811549
The Last Story is absolutely "beginner's first JRPG." Or maybe "baby's first JRPG" is more accurate.
Sakaguchi of Final Fantasy fame AND Uematsu (soundtrack) came together to make this game under a new company. It has high quality production value. Even the story itself is straightforward and decent.
But, it is ABSOLUTELY bland. The characters, the setting, the story, the gameplay, the music, the interaction, the voice talent. All of it. Bland. I played a good 40 hours of that game before I had to stop. It's is absolutely dull.
I would recommend NOT buying it. You will miss nothing. I only played it when I modded my Wii and downloaded this title because "hot damn! Sakaguchi and Uematsu!"
>>335811618
I can go ahead and point to the whole soundtrack but are you going to sit through 4 hours of tracks just for someone on the internet to prove you wrong?

I've put about 200 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles X. I know the ins and outs of the entire game. I loved it, thought it was great. Definitely parts I didn't like about it and just a few things I outright hated, but I'd still suggest it to anyone asking.
I don't need "4 hours" to listen to the entire OST. I've spent far, far longer already listening to it all. The only good tracks are Day/Night themes of the 5 continents. That's about it. They are instrumental and fitting. Nearly every single song else is NOT GOOD for a variety of reasons. Vocal tracks are especially egregious. The fact that once you're in a flight mech, you can never really spend time listening to the continent themes, either. Most if not all battle tracks are also extremely grating or not worth suffering through.
But by all means, post a youtube playlist for XBX thinking it "proves (me) wrong." Sawano is not a great musician, a terrible composer and has produced schlock for this soundtrack. It seriously reminds me a Ricky Martin hits, but instead of Latino/Pop, it's Rock/Pop...with engrish.

I don't know how they could fuck up so badly the "sequel" the music is 10 steps down as well god damn it.
>>335812108
They "censored" a 13-year-old's undergarment costumes. Underwear, bikini and Playboy sex stuff. Just those 3 things, just that single character.
They "cut" a breast slider for the female avatar, locking you to size DD breasts.
They "cut" fundoshi costumes (no reason, I suppose but I mean really)
They localized the term for your mech from "Doll" to "Skell"
They localized the term BLADE from "Beyond the Logos Artificial Destiny Emancipator" to "Builders of the Legacy After the Destruction of Earth" Who the FUCK cares?
why bother? its infinitely better on dolphin.

>>335812432
They are simply some of the best tracks. It is very human to respond with a few examples rather than the entirety.
If someone asks you for the best tracks of a music album, you answer with 2 or 3. You don't answer with every single song.

I'm 60% in to XCX. A few years ago I downloaded XC to my Wii but never finished it. Will I enjoy XC more?
>>335812967
Here's your (You).
>>335799004
Oh sorry I forgot that a game doesn't actually come out or matter until it gets released in America.
My mistake.
>>335813167
I personally found it harder to go back XBC after playing XCX. The combat is what really hinders it.
How come whenever Americans don't get something they bitch and moan and carry on until they do and get oodles of media attention, but that being business as usual anywhere else apparently it doesn't matter and we should shut the fuck up about it? Operation Rainfall was cancerous as fuck. I mean fuck don't expect us to care about you not getting a game when you don't with us.
It's not just vidya either. Americans feel the need to be the loudest and most obnoxious presence on the planet and that we need to know everything they're doing at all times. The inevitable homogenisation of Western culture is something I'm dreading.
>>335813409
I don't see how the combat is any different between the two. If anything, XBC has less bullshit to deal with.
>>335813201
Why are you posting an image about Fire Emblem fates when this thread (and that anon) are talking about Xenoblade?
>>335812567
a voice of reason. Sawano's music is dreadful.
>>335813542
Maybe you fucks should start making more attention then. I remember a many threads with Eurofags bitching and moaning about Atlus games taking nearly a full year to release there as opposed to NA.

Yeah that flashback he has as he's dying of Shulk as a baby in the Valak Mountain shrine I think serves the purpose of showing us that he saw Shulk as his son.
Even though it isn't explicable said, I theorise thatDicksonwas almost testing Shulk to see if he was strong enough to fightGod
The fact that he doesn't try to stop them after he's defeated but just says "go on I can't be bothered to do this any more" suggests that he wasn't really trying to stop them in the first place.
>XCX sucks
When did this stupid meme start? It's a fucking fantastic game, what's wrong with it?
>>335809526
>>335812335
thats makes sense, but still, people who know and understand the title of the first game are likely not to see any similarities between the two other than the existence of the nopon.
i know that in the game you recruit all kinds of other xenoforms, but the only one you get in your party is L and I guess Elma at the end. as shitty as the ma-non were, in this case, i would have liked to get a playable one along with those grasshopper aliens. honestly though, arguing the title of the game is the least of the problems with it.

Eryth Sea is nice but there's far too much sea, as stupid as that sounds. I don't mean that there should have been less sea, but just more islands and secrets. I was so pissed off when I spent ages swimming to the West side of the sea to find that there was absolutely NOTHING there. It's just this huge empty span of water. They have had a secret spot of shallow water you could stand in and fight a huge water monster boss.
As for best location probably either Valak Mountain or Gaur Plain. Satorl Marsh at night is incredible, as is the bridge by the waterfalls in Makna Forest.
God I love this game

Xenoblade Chronicles had a brilliant localization. One of the few games where I actually enjoy the dub and nothing was changed as far as I remember.
Now X on the other hand, that localization was terrible.
Best team?

Melia had the best body
>>335816943
Depends what you're doing.
Steamrolling through Melia/Dunban/Riki or 7 is generally done
Severely underleveled for a single enemy Shulk, Sharla, Reyn
>>335816917
It was excellent, though? Seriously, the dialogue options you pick from, the color dialogue, the text descriptions, the humor dealing with frankly sadistic situations?
What was poorly localized? An example, or two, please. I won't know what you're talking about if you say "treehouse memes"
>>335816943
If you're looking to just win anything, you main Melia to kite everything while Riki and Dunban wreck shit.
Does the Virtual Console version look any better? or is it identical to the Wii version?
Debating if I should grab it, or just emulate it...
>>335817384
I think the general rule of thumb is that it's practically identical barring visual smoothing. Still looks like a Wii game. It is comfy to play it in bed, though. Am I missing out on anything not using the Wii Remote?
>>335817240
>It was excellent, though?
>though?
Get out of here, Manon scum.
>>335817384
Is the same as the Wii Version.
But is going to look slightly worse since now you'll play an SD game on an HD TV
>>335817914
The original collector's came with a red classic controller, it wasn't meant to be played with a remote since there is no motion control.
>>335816807
I almost always do this with digital sales. I ordered it off Amazon, immediately email them and ask about a price match with whatever store it is, even with digital sales on Nintendo eShop and PSN. Just provide a link to the digital store listing. They'll almost always say that Amazon doesn't do price matches but they'll go ahead and do it as a one time exception, except I've done it so many times now I lost count. It sometimes works with special edition versions too. A while back Personal 4 Dancing All Night was on sale on PSN, I was able to price match it on Amazon with the limited edition version. Just be kind in the email and they'll do it, and I make sure to leave great feedback when they confirm the price match. Hope that helps, good luck anon.
>>335798740
I got tricked into buying it for the 3DS. Fuck y'all
>>335816943
Melia, Reyn and Dunban is pretty great.
Melia when used probably deals crazy DOT and with both Reyn and Dunban tanking, she never gets hit. Plus her earth elementals make Reyn last much longer.
Dunban when set-up properly dodges fucking everything and deals really great damage.
Reyn just tanks hits like a pro and deals decent enough damage
Their triple attacks are probably the best in the game. Melia using elemental discharge guarantees the triple attack chain is kept so you can rack up mad damage.
>>335817939
I think they supposedly rapped in Japanese.
>>335801707
3DS port is fine. Yeah, it looks worse than the console version, but its by no means horrible. only slowdown i got was in 1 area near the end of the game and it was for like 1 second. Its a great port, plus portable RPGs are amazing
>>335817091feather pubesy/n?
>>335817240
Not that guy but I thought the English voice acting wasn't great.
Xenoblade Chronicles had some really good English VAs. Dunban, Dickson, Reyn and Fiora in particular were really well voiced.
X the characters just sounded much more generic.
>>335817970
>But is going to look slightly worse since now you'll play an SD game on an HD TV
I played the original on a SDTV and it looked like shit. I couldn't read some of the words, it was fucking terrible. Are you telling me it's going to be worse in this version?
>>335813929
All Wii U games get a bad rap because it's not a console a lot of people have. It's just a hint of console warrior mentality.
>>335818632
I can agree with you about the voice talent used. Not great, not terrible.
Xenoblade Chronicles was vastly superior. Which is tangential to the point-at-hand, but worth noting.
do you need the wiimote for this shit or no
>>335799196
I couldn't help it.
>>335818102
I'm guessing it has to be sold by Amazon itself. Unfortunately, the Canadian site doesn't have any on stock at the moment.
Well, thanks anyway anon, you're a clever little fox.
>>335816943
Don't know about best, but most fun to play is Dunban - Riki - Seven.

You can emulate it for free, with HD textures and 1080p.
Why would anyone bother?
>>335808905
I find it funny all the negatives focus the censorship first, whereas the game on the whole is fucking terrible.
>>335809928

>>335819618

It wasn't that bad, lot of room for improvement, but just pissing around doing the sidequests makes the game worth ituntil you get to 47/97 lobsters
